The CDM Podcast

Disciple Making Community Basics (Part 1)

"Personal practice as a disciple maker is important. But to sustain it, you need community." That's where a Disciple Making Community fits in. 

We've already had some podcasts about Disciple Making Communities (DMC). This one will go over some of the crucial ingredients to a DMC:  

• Action-focused learning

• Prayer/engagement

• Meeting needs

• Accountability/encouragement 

• Celebration

We'll also go into the flow of how a DMC meeting should go. Remember, it's not just about the meeting. A community happens all throughout the week, encouraging each other in all the ways we need to make disciples. This podcast helps you know how to do that! 

We have another 2-part episode on the way that's also about DMC, but more specifically training and multiplying your DMC. Stay tuned!

How to Have Deep Discovery Conversations

This free full length episode is all about having conversations that actually go somewhere. We often aren't taught how to talk to people about Jesus and if we are, it's always about getting them to accept Jesus right then and there. So where should we take the conversation? We want to connect their story to a story in the Bible. Eventually (and with lots of prayer), this will lead them to reading the Bible and discovering God for themselves. 

"That's what Jesus did. He saw where people were—or what was happening at the moment—and then connected a grander spiritual truth with that moment." 

Listen now to get practical how-to's and encouraging stories that will help you have deep discovery conversations with your friends and family!

How the Prayer Calendar Starts Prayer Movement (Part 1)

“We are talking specifically about one of the most important aspects of disciple making out there." -Paul Watson

And that aspect is prayer! But starting a prayer movement seems like such a daunting task. In this week's CDM podcast, we focus on an extremely practical first step in mobilizing prayer for disciple making movements: the prayer calendar.  Beck describes it as "a nail on which to hang the command to be daily praying for and edifying others." We go into detail on how to start your own prayer calendar and how it feeds into prayer movement. We emphasize how prayer habits are more important than prayer events. We also share a bunch of stories of how people have used the prayer calendar successfully. We hope this helps you start doing a prayer calendar even today!

Lessons from Movement in Honduras with David Parish (Part 1)

“We’re seeing 40 miracles every day…we’re seeing 38 water baptisms per day right now...51,000 people have come to Christ. 43,000 have been baptized." 

 

These were pretty staggering statistics about the Disciple Making Movement in Honduras and other parts of Latin America. But what did it take to get to this miraculous point? We're joined by David Parish in this week's CDM podcast. David tells the story of the beginning of their ministry—how they weren't seeing multiplication yet. Despite seeing 212 churches planted, David was convinced God has more in store but knew something was missing. So he sought out the necessary training and coaching he needed to see DMM happen in Honduras and the story continues to this day! 

 

This podcast is filled with stories of miracles, David's personal journey of disciple making, and principles we can take from the movement in Honduras.

The Difference Between Discovery Groups and Bible Studies (Part 1)

You've probably heard us talk about Discovery Bible Studies (DBS). Most of us have been in numerous Bible studies, but what about a Discovery Study? Is there a difference? And does the distinction matter when it comes to discipling people who don't yet know Jesus? 

 

Join Paul and Beck in this week's CDM Podcast episode as they talk about the DNA of a DBS and how it differs from a traditional Bible study group. For instance, traditional studies are often focused on attaining knowledge for believers while Discovery Studies are about facilitating obedience among non-believers. 

 

“Transformation doesn’t happen until we actually obey the things we have learned. Simply knowing certain things doesn’t transform us.”

Our Traditions Can Block the Kingdom (Part 1)

“After catastrophic failure and being expelled from the country, I started to question the way we were planting churches as a denomination.” -David Watson

This is a special episode wherein we are joined by David Watson - a leading practitioner and trainer in modern Disciple Making Movements and Paul Watson's father. This one is about traditions we as Christians have that we bring into the mission field. While traditions are not bad, they can often block the advancement of the Kingdom of God. We want to minimize transfer of culture, whether ethnic or denominational. David Watson had to change his entire way of doing ministry; but it led to a movement of 2,000,000+ believers in India. 

Join us in hearing from Paul Watson and Beck Ewing, with special guest David Watson to hear about how we can start a movement that's totally Jesus and Scripture centered, not based on our Christian culture.

The Call of a Disciple (Part 1)

Christians often focus on not drinking or sleeping around...but while we try not to commit those, do we omit things like caring for the poor? Or we'll send someone across the world to Africa but won't go across our street. In this episode of the CDM Podcast, Paul Watson and Beck Ewing go into 3 sins we need to be repenting of and what we need to be returning to to be disciples who are worth multiplying. Have we missed the true call of a disciple amidst our cultural Christianity?

The Hidden Block to Movement (Part 1)

The first strategic element of a Disciple Making Movement is "be a disciple worth multiplying." The first thing Jesus preached was repentance. We see these going hand in hand when pursuing movement and the lack of the latter is that hidden block to movement. In this episode, Paul and Beck unpack how this works and the lost principle of repentance in Christianity today. 

 

"If we don’t repent, we’re not in actual step with God. Therefore we cannot move forward to fully be his emissaries to the world."

 

In part 2, we dive into what it looks like if we refuse to repent. Go to www.patreon.com/FaithWorks for part 2. For just $5/month, you can have access to the premium content of each episode—that's 8 full length podcasts a month!

Are We Sharing the Entire Gospel? (Part 1)

“The gospel of the kingdom requires us to equally emphasize the great commission and the great commandment as inseparable sides of the same coin.”

This week's episode is on the Gospel.  It gets down to, do we understand and know Jesus’ message? What is the good news that we are supposed to be preaching? Paul Watson and Beck Ewing dive into how it's more than just forgiveness and about the bigger picture.
